Several changes were recently made for the rules and regulations at the Red Hill Cemetery in Hodgenville.

The Red Hill Cemetery Commission met on September 14 for their biannual meeting. During the meeting, the commission voted unanimously to change their meeting schedule from biannual to quarterly. The meeting will now be held on January, April, July and October.

In the monthly meeting of the Hodgenville City Council held Monday evening, Mayor Kenny DeVore told the council that the city recently received a check for $108,998.40 for the unauthorized overpayment of wages of former Hodgenville City Clerk Madonna Hornback. According to current city clerk Toni Burton, the city received the funds from their bonding company, Cincinnati Insurance Companies.

The newly re-established Hodgenville ethics commission held their first meeting on Tuesday, September 8.

State law requires the City of Hodgenville to have an ethics ordinance in place to define standards expected in elected and appointed officials. The City first appointed an ethics commission in 1994, but former Hodgenville Mayor Terry Cruse did not make appointments to the commission during his tenure (2007-2014), making the commission nonexistent.

Mayor Kenny Devore has partially reopened Creekfront Park as of today, July 8. "The park is very wet, and we are asking folks to please use caution, and avoid any and all areas that have been marked with caution tape, and refrain from viewing or walking around the banks of the creek, as those areas are still very wet and dangerous", said Mayor Devore.

The park substained damage to the playground area and part of the walking tracking following the flooding that occurred July 3 in Hodgenville and LaRue County.

A Bonnieville man has plead guilty to charges stemming from an incident involving the death of a Buffalo woman.

Attorneys for Jason R. Davis, 38 of Bonnieville, filed a motion for a guilty plea in LaRue County Circuit Court on June 1 to amended charges stemming from incidents Nov. 1, 2014, that involved the death of Shalayna Skaggs, of Buffalo.

The Hodgenville City Council approved Monday night a request to provide water and sewer service for the second half of the split fair.

“I would like to extend the water and sewer service for the second part of the fair in the same fashion that we did for the fair this week,” Mayor Kenny Devore said. Devore said he came to the decision after talking with community members, but that extending water and sewer services to the fair would be “for this year, and only for this year.”
